For what reasons should assembly language be avoided when creating multi-purpose
programs? When is the use of assembly language advisable or even necessary?
Because of its speed and efficiency, assembly language is a great option for developing multipurpose software. When other programming languages fail, it's time to resort to assembly language.
Assembly language is a wonderful alternative for developing multipurpose software due
to its efficiency and speed. In what circumstances would you recommend using
assembly language instead of another language for programming?
